A gentle reminder for whoever needs it: you don't have to make yourself small for anyone. You are perfect, exactly the way you are.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

A screenshot of a news article reading: Pottermore Publishing and Audible have added ten to the cast of the Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions. Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) will voice Professor Lockhart; Keira Knightley (Black Doves) is Professor Umbridge; Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones) is Professor Lupin; Ruth Wilson (The Affair) voices Bellatrix Lestrange; Ambika Mod (One Day) is Nymphadora Tonks; Leo Woodall (One Day) is Bill Weasley; Simon Pegg (Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning) voices Arthur Weasley; James McAvoy (His Dark Materials) is Mad-Eye Moody; Gemma Whelan (Game of Thrones) is Professor Sprout; and Matt Berry (What We Do In The Shadows) is Sir Cadogan.

Something quietly heartbreaking is when folks (unintentionally) downplay the seriousness of like... current circumstances.

When I say "I can't go to that event - I can't safely travel to the USA right now, or maybe ever again" I am voicing my reality, not seeking an optimistic outlook.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.

And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Finally, a proper method for shuffling a commander deck

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I have almost the exact same toe colour on! So fun

Concurrently terrifying and erotic

Goodnight

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Poilievre vows to stay on as party leader for reasons of being otherwise unemployable #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

I want to temper everyone gleefully attributing this Liberal victory to Trump, or his endorsement of the Conservatives.

Let’s not forget that Poilievre just absolutely sucks out loud, and did most of the damage to himself.
Let’s not take that from him.
He’s awful and he lost because of it.
